About Us

Tricia Orscheln was inspired to become a professional in the helping field because of a family member’s life journey, which included living with a mental illness.  She personally witnessed the struggle and the strength necessary to travel on a path of healing.  She believes in a “whole person” approach to health, and that all dimensions of one’s life are interrelated.  She has the ability and passion to empower people she works with to discover their own purpose and to increase their quality of life.  She focuses on helping others create their own personal “mental health toolbox” for implementing the change process. 

Her purpose for wanting to create a children’s mental wellness resource book is to help them understand and navigate their emotions, build resilience, and promote their well-being in a positive and relatable way.  She hopes to empower children and provide them with unique coping skills to help encourage sharing their feelings openly.  She was blessed to live on the island of Kauai as a young girl and experienced many amazing adventures.  She features a variety of places on the island through Alohalani’s mental wellness journey to spark curiosity and make a healthy connection.  Over the years she has created her own set of mindfulness coping skills for children she has worked with, helping to enable them to regulate their emotions, reduce stress, and handle difficult situations successfully.  Alohalani’s mission is to introduce a set of coping skills to children while addressing certain situations so they can feel confident in putting them to use in everyday life.
